    This is all that's really available when it comes to the Ponce fight:

    I know that I said what I don't like about him already, but I'd just thought I'd offer up some visual evidence. I mean, how anyone has managed to allow themselves to believe this kid is/will be special is beyond me. The guy's getting out pot-shotted by Daniel Ponce de Leon for christ sake, actually losing the fight while Ponce is pot-shotting. How? I'll be the first to admit I'm a big Ponce fan, but if you're trying to make people believe you're some kind of sumpremely talented boxer-type, getting out-boxed by Ponce shouldn't even be a possibility. He's actually circling from the outside, and clipping Broner without being caught himself, and he isn't using any defensive subtleties either, they're just poorly-aimed shots by Broner. I scored it 97-94, and I think Broner fooled a lot of people, the HBO team included, that he was landing shots he really wasn't, all because he shouted a bit after every shot.

    As I say, I detailed what, in my opinion, are his frailties earlier, just felt I'd solidify that a bit.

    I thought he won comfortably. If you're a big fan of Ponce you'd never of seen the man on the back foot so often the punch stats would suggest the opposite of Ponce sucessfully potshoting Broner also.
    Broner landed 36% of of shots while Ponce only landed 21%
